Description

Low-income students are earning a college degree at one tenth the rate of their higher income peers. College Possible is working to change that trend. Founded in 2000 in St. Paul to help close the educational achievement gap and build an educated workforce, its award-winning model has received international recognition achieved unparalleled student results.

College Possible Twin Cities is serving 8,500 low-income students at 19 partner high schools in the Twin Cities and more than 100 colleges across the country this year. 98% of our students earn admission to college and they are ten times more likely to graduate than low-income students nationally. A college education puts a student and his or her family on a pathway out of poverty forever while providing our communities with the educated workforce required to compete in a global economy.
